Associate/Assistant Professional: Oviinbyrd Golf Club
The true beauty of Öviinbyrd is that it was not built, so much as it was revealed. 18-holes meander over the rumpled Muskoka landscape, granite boulders, thick forest and inland lakes, flowing effortlessly one hole after another. The golfer journeys through the Muskoka wilderness, playing 18 distinct golf holes each with a divergent personality and flavour. Measuring from 5,200 to 7,158 yards with six sets of tees, Öviinbyrd is a traditional yet modern design in so many aspects, accommodating the right balance of skill and enjoyment for players of all abilities. – Tom McBroom (Course Architect)
